[Romford Shrimper]

So after 3 straight defeats it's about time we bounced back!
Wont be an easy game at all tomorrow night but I think we'll nick a 2-1 win. Let's get the Hall!
Come on Southend.
UTB.

I havn't got a clue whats going to happen, I was confident we would win at Wycombe and against Morecombe and we lost them both. I'm hoping for a better performance but then again that's not going to be that hard after the rubbish on Saturday.

Lets hope to get back on track with a win!

Last time we lost at home on a Friday to Scunthorpe was back in 1966! Seems that everytime we play them on a Friday night at Roots Hall, the majority of the time we move leagues that season or the next!

2005/06 = 3-0 W (Promotion)
2004/05 = 0-0 D (Promotion)
2003/04 = 4-2 W (Promoted next season)
1989/90 = 0-0 D (Promotion)
1984/85 = 1-1 D
1983/84 = 1-1 D (Relegation)
1980/81 = 2-0 W (Promotion)
1977/78 = 2-0 W (Promotion)
1976/77 = 1-1 D (Promoted next season)
1970/71 = 2-2 D (Promoted next season)
1969/70 = 3-0 W
1965/66 = 0-1 L (Relegation)

Conclusions
Win or draw = possible promotion this season or not
Lose = relegation & England win the World Cup

Don't forget that 0-0 Cup game a few years back, when we lost the chance to play Chelsea, after getting knocked out in the replay.Not Drewe's finest hour.:nope:

Do you mean Scarborough?

Do you mean Scarborough?

All up north beginning with Sc though.

 

[turkishm]

Not got a clue. So working on the assumption that things must get better, I will say er, mm, 1 0 Southend, I think.

 

[Portuguese Shrimper]

Scunthorpe just signed Byrne on loan for 3 months. Centre back I think!!

 

[mrsblue]

Got to halt the slide,1 1 draw.

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Got to halt the slide, 3-0 win

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Always an extra buzz about Friday night games. 2-0 win!

 

[enfieldblue]

think I'd be happy with a 1-1 to settle the ship

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Not predicting this time, I tried it for the last 3 games.....giving up in case I jinx them again !

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Correct.:blush:
All these Northern teams are the same to me.:facepalm:

 

[Tommy Dunc's Warren]

Head says it will be a draw but my heart says we will sneak a 2-1 over them. Have missed Friday night games !! i think the last one i went to was Cheltenham 4-0 Freddy's return during a loan period 2-3 seasons ago ?

Anyway we should see Barry start Friday we need his height up against towering centre backs :thumbsup:

"Sounds like a bit of predjudice against Northerners showing through to me."

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

It seems to depend on what side turns up .....oh, and what side is selected.

I think Phiilpo Brownio has enough reason to try and change the team selection.

I think Scunthorpe have drawn 4 of their six games so far and only lost 1 ....... so, without using any logic at all, I predict that the game will not be a draw.

6,248 to see Southend scrape a narrow 2-0 win.
